Flashback to the 80’s. Don’t think anything has been updated since. Vent in bathroom had years of dust. Ceiling in shower peeling. Carpets and furnishings are very old. Bed was comfy. Breakfast in the morning seemed fine, but we opted to dine out. Wasn’t a very clean place overall. We needed a place to stay after a concert and had booked this 7 months in advance. For $168 for one night, we’d go elsewhere next time. When I think of Country Inn and Suites, this doesn’t live up to the standard we’ve experienced at others.

The nearby pond was a nice touch! However, we had mold growing around the vent in the bathroom. There also appreared to be red spots resembling blood drops on the carpet. When we mentioned it to the front desk, we were told they would look at it.

Good stay but hotel needs some work
Stay was part of a two day conference in Ankeny, IA. Overall, the staff is very welcoming and friendly, however, the hotel needs some updates and renovations.

Nice hotel for money
The hotel is very nice and located in a great location. The staff is friendly and work hard to make your stay comfortable and hassle free. Our room was nice but a few small issues: 1. Hair blow dryer did not work. 2. One of the dresser drawers would not stay closed so we taped it shut.

I will stay here again. Was happy with the room size, the room and building seemed clean, staff was friendly, and a good rate. Could have had more options for breakfast, but wasn't bad. Hot tub was nice but could have been a bit warmer. But was a great 2 night stay.

My husband and I arrived at the front desk check in and two women were behind it. They were having their own conversation and we were the only guests in the lobby. They continued to talk with each other for about five minutes before making eye contact or even acknowledging us with a simple “hello.” Finally after we were checked in we made our way to our room. On the way to the room the carpets were soaking wet in places, stained, and smelled moldy. Once in the room we noticed black hairs all over the bathroom floor and the bottom of the shower didn’t look like it had been cleaned. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. We made it to the hot tub at about 1130 pm. It was warm at best, had a greenish color, and smelled like pond water. We only stayed a couple minutes. I think this hotel could be a lot better if a little bit of care/love was put into it. We definitely won’t be staying again.

Squeaky floors from neighbor above and loud fan on heater made it hard to fall asleep on the average bed with small thin pillows. Continental breakfast was good enough.
